"Message did not receive a reply" browsing iPad 2

Question

I've installed libimobiledevice and wanted to browse through my iPad 2 4.3.5 iOS. But I get this error:

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

A solution for Ubuntu 10.10, running sudo apt-get update dist-upgrade, didn't work.

Answer 1

Yes, you may need to unpair and pair your device..

idevicepair validate

Just remembering: to do that you need to have libimobiledevice-utils installed, if you don't have it

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils
